FOR MANY PEOPLE, THE ONLY WAY TO TRULY freshen breath is to get to the real root of the problem not just mask it. Of course, basic oral hygiene brushing, flossing, regular professional cleanings to remove odor-causing plaque helps, but bad breath can be a result of systemic problems such as poor digestion, or a side effect of a low-carb diet, that no amount of mouth wash or mints can hide. The solution is to fight it from the inside out. Here are your best bets for eliminating halitosis.
B VITAMINS
B vitamins are essential for proper digestion, and when lacking can cause a decrease in enzymes that fight bacteria in the mouth. Studies have shown that 50 mg of niacin (vitamin B3) daily, particularly when taken as part of a B-complex supplement, can help to eliminate bad breath.
